Questions patients ask
Can my mammogram from home be read?
Yes, send it in DICOM format with the report.
Will the biopsy need repeating?
Not always; existing slides and blocks may be re-read.
Can reconstruction be done in the same operation?
In some cases. The team decides based on the case and later treatment.
